      How did you do this? Was a strand of synthetic intertwined in there before you dyed it? It's quite striking!

      Sorry Smallgrasshopper, just saw this comment right now. No synthetic was used. I dyed all the wool in small lots of all the different kinds of kool aid that I could find, spun it up and then plyed it.

      Wow--it looks like you did this process numerous times... it must have been fun! It is gorgeous.
